Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2021 model year cars.
- Thermo Control Valve FailureModerate
A sticking thermo control valve can trigger multiple dashboard warning lights and poor heater output even though the engine otherwise drives normally. Lamps and electrical faults are the most common MOT failure area on the Outback.
- Infotainment Freezing and Screen GlitchesModerate
Early BT cars can suffer laggy or freezing infotainment, which is particularly frustrating because so many climate and vehicle functions are routed through the main display. Dashboard warning lights and electrical faults dominate the Outback's MOT failure record.
- 12-Volt Battery Drain and Electrical GremlinsModerate
Owners report batteries going flat or dying well before the usual four-to-five-year mark, sometimes linked to parasitic drain from keyless entry or infotainment modules staying awake. Battery condition and electrical faults are recorded MOT checks on this model.
